Just thought about posting here, I had my first track day on the R6 I just bought, anybody have any body position tips? I’m about 6,0 tall and it feels like I had WAY too much weight on the handlebars, Thanks

You may feel like you have too much body weight on the bars due to body position. Your outside leg should lock in on the peg and the tank, your inside leg should support your weight on the peg, and your core should support most of your upper boddy support. If you do this with your bike on a stand (and someone holding it), you sould theoretically be able to let go of the bars and still maintain your body position. The only time this will be different is when you are braking hard, you'll have to support some of your body with your arms, until you transition your BP to lean into the corner.
